The Litchfield Park 10K, 5K, and one mile run or walk will take place on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025, in historic Litchfield Park, Arizona. The race features a flat, scenic course lined with palm trees, starting and finishing at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center.

The event includes three competitive races: the 10K, 5K, and one mile. Medals will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each age group.

The overall male and female winners in each distance will receive special recognition plaques. All participants in the non-competitive one mile fun run or walk will receive ribbons.

Participants will receive a race t-shirt and one raffle ticket for prize giveaways. Pre-registered participants are guaranteed their preferred shirt size, while walk-up registrants will receive t-shirts based on availability. Food and drinks will be available, and post-race awards ceremonies will follow the races.

Entry fees for the competitive races are $40 for the 10K, 5K, and 1 Mile. The non-competitive 1 Mile Fun Run costs $25. Race-day registration will be available with payment by cash or check at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center.

Early check-in will be available 5-7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21, 2025, at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center, where participants can pick up their t-shirts, race bibs, and raffle tickets. Online registration is available.
